Bit of a gamble
I've ordered three of these on various occasions - when the frozen version has been out of stock - and generally they have been very tasty! However, my last order, despite being immediately refrigerated upon delivery and opened within 24 hours, absolutely stank!!! Now, I'm not precious by any means, and ate it, cooked very well, all the same, but I do caution anyone considering purchasing this to serve to guests, or for consumption by those with a poor constitution, as other reviewers have suggested.

short best before date
Have had this before and it's been ok but this was delivered Friday evening and best before Sunday - not very long and worried about freshness. Also don't like the way ocado deliver chicken in the same bag as items like lettuce.

Freshness not in line with use by date
Been getting these for many years and I find it is best cooked on the day it is delivered as beyond that the bird becomes quite smelly and often 'off' before it's use by date. I wonder if this may be something to do with the packaging..?

Sell by date only 2 days
Nothing wrong with the chicken, but web site says that sell by date guaranteed 3 days. The sell by date on the one I received was only 2 days ahead.

Tasty and Tender
I have bought these chickens regularly and have found them excellent - I have always cooked or frozen, in fresh packaging, within 36 hrs.
